Vinyl Chloride Production Costs - Q4 2022
Vinyl Chloride Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Vinyl Chloride (a.k.a. VCM, Vinyl Chloride Monomer, Chloroethene) is an organic compound, in the organochloride class. In room temperature, VCM is an ethereal/sweet odor gas; however, in industry, it is most often handled as a liquid. Vinyl Chloride is a major chemical commodity, and it is among the top twenty largest petrochemicals in world production.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Vinyl Chloride production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2022).
Vinyl Chloride Production from Ethylene Dichloride
This report presents the economics of Vinyl Chloride production from ethylene dichloride (EDC) in the United States using a typical thermal cracking process. In the process under analysis, EDC is thermally cracked to produce Vinyl Chloride, also generating hydrogen chloride as a by-product.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E11A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Vinyl Chloride Production from Ethane and Chlorine
This study reviews the costs associated with Vinyl Chloride production directly from ethane and chlorine. The process examined is an early stage process similar to that developed by European Vinyls Corporation, now owned by INEOS. The process is a direct ethane to vinyl chloride monomer route. The economic assessment assumes an industrial plant in the United States.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E21A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Vinyl Chloride Production from Acetylene
This feasibility study reviews a typical hydrochlorination process for Vinyl Chloride production from acetylene. In this process, anhydrous hydrogen chloride is reacted in vapor phase with acetylene over a mercuric chloride catalyst producing Vinyl Chloride. The economic analysis presented is based on the construction of an industrial plant in the United States.
Details: 280 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E31A target a 280 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Vinyl Chloride from Ethylene and Chlorine (Balanced Process)
This study presents the economics of Vinyl Chloride (VCM) production from ethylene and chlorine in the United States. Initially, ethylene is chlorinated to produce ethylene dichloride (EDC). Then, EDC is thermally cracked yielding VCM and HCl. The HCl produced and ethylene are reacted with oxygen, yielding more EDC. This leads to a so called “balanced process”.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E41A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Vinyl Chloride from Ethylene and Chlorine (By-Product: HCl)
This study approaches a detailed cost analysis of Vinyl Chloride (VCM) production from ethylene and chlorine as raw materials. Initially, ethylene is chlorinated to produce ethylene dichloride (EDC). Then, EDC is thermally cracked yielding VCM. The economic analysis presented assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E42A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Vinyl Chloride Production from Ethylene and EDC
This report presents the production cost of Vinyl Chloride from ethylene and ethylene dichloride (EDC) in the United States. The process examined combines two process. First, Vinyl Chloride is produced via thermal cracking of EDC, which generates hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is then used as raw material with ethylene in the EDC production via oxychlorination.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VCM E51A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
